Chris Hillman Quotes

It�s different now but I enjoy it more than I did then. I think I appreciate it more now and I love playing acoustically. This is the way I started. Herb and I met each other forty years ago when we were both eighteen years old, playing bluegrass, and that�s what drew me into music, and I enjoyed every particular part of my career. But now I enjoy it because it�s the twilight of my career, where I can play what I want and I can play when I want and where I want. And that�s the greatest part it all. So it�s sort of a right that I�ve earned. I can record records the way I want to.

The only thing that takes up my time other than music is raising my fourteen year old son. My daughter�s in college, so I have a fourteen year old son in high school, which takes up a lot of my time, but other than that I think I could safely say I�m semi-retired. So I do sessions, still for people, friends. I�m doing some sessions next week for a friend of mine who used to be in the Kentucky Colonels with Clarence White (Leroy Mack). He�s doing an album. And, you know, basically the music probably takes it, but as far as other hobbies, no, I don�t paint. Other than read history and lots of time for reading and working around the house, that�s about it!
